'...The idea behind lazy loading is simple. When you visit a traditional web page like the one you’re on right now, your web browser downloads the entire page at once. That includes all of the text and images you see on your screen as well as all of the text and images that are hidden until you begin to scroll. With lazy loading, however, that changes. All of the text on the web page is downloaded as soon as you visit it, but only the images that are visible at the top of the page are downloaded at first. Then, as you begin to scroll, off-screen images are downloaded as you approach them on the page. The end result is a much faster initial page load, and then off-screen images are downloaded seamlessly in the background so they’re already there by the time you scroll to them....'

Trump continues to prove he's a racist and misogynist in his latest ranting.He always makes vicious character-assassinating attacks on people he formerly called "excellent" like Newman and Papadopoulos.

The malignant narcissism in Trump compels him to blame all his failures on those he considers his "failed subordinates"..

It's his primary form of lying to himself. He never admits he lied when he claimed to have plans that would produce Mexican money for his wall, a "better cheaper replacement" for the ACA and an "easy" 30-day-plan to defeat ISIS, or that he'd be too busy to play golf..

It's up to voters to recall that his lies, the fastest revolving door of administration staff changes in living memory, the huge number of administration appointees exposed as grifters on trial and confessing for a deal... It's up to voters to remember his accusations of deceit by his own security services, the kidnapping of children under false pretenses, and his pandering to foreign dictators, and vote out those who are his enablers and protectors in the people's Congress and Senate.

From the article:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called Omarosa Manigault Newman a "dog" on Twitter, prompting outrage by critics who said the comment was a racially charged attack on the former aide, who is a black woman.

The comment came amid the revelation of a new tape featuring a discussion among Trump campaign aides that suggested he had used a racial slur to describe black people. It also came amid back-and-forth attacks between Trump and Manigault Newman, who has written a book, "Unhinged," about her tenure that is highly critical of the president.

The Trump campaign said Tuesday that it filed arbitration against Manigault Newman for violating a confidentiality agreement she signed in 2016.

"When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out," the president tweeted about Manigault Newman. "Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"
